7 life lessons learned from the show 'Cops'

When we posted a funny reflection about what the reality legal series “Cops” has taught us to our Facebook page, we received some surprisingly funny feedback. It turns out we weren’t the only ones taking notes while watching the long-standing series (which is now remarkably in its 26th season). Check out these 7 life lessons that we owe to the fine officers and criminals of Cops:

Actually I think I learned not to run when a cop is just driving by. Walk casual or it’s suspicious and your a** is going to jail! — Autumn Rae

"Cops" taught me that:1. Roll calls really happen2. After an arrest, it is important to give a play by play to your colleagues 3. All pursuits begin with a U-turn — Teddy Schnei Der

​Never run with your pants down around your a**, you will fall. — Dennis David
